Akugel fountain (also called afloating sphere fountain or by thepleonasmic namekugel ball) is awater feature or sculpture where asphere sits in afitted hollow in a pedestal, and is supported byaquaplaning on a thin film of water. Pressurized water flows between the sphere and socket, creating a mechanicalhydrostatic bearing that is nearly frictionless. The sphere can weigh thousands of kilograms, but the efficient bearing allows it to be spun by the force of a hand. The sphere does not float, beingdenser than water; it is often made fromgranite.^[1] The hydraulics of the fountain can be controlled so that theaxis of rotation of the sphere changes continually.^[2] Ring sculptures that rotate on anaxis are also built.^[2][3]

Kugel fountains can be found all over the world. Many are at popular tourist destinations, such as science museums,^[4] shopping centers, lobbies, and gardens.

Kugel is the German word forball orsphere.^[5]
